His Abused Mate, The Alpha's Redemption

My hell

Chapter 2

Harriet’s pov

I had always had a great life, good friends, and loving family. I was a strong beta female well trained, and I got really good grades in school, so basically, I had everything to look forward to. Well, that was until 2 days after my 17th birthday, and then my perfect life went to hell.

At least when the rogues grabbed me, I managed to fight and distract them enough that my best friend the Alpha’s daughter, could escape. I was quickly knocked out and taken from the area. They must have been worried my pack would find them with Ella getting away.

I was with them for a week before I was eventually sold off to Alpha Thomas. The only blessing was that they never laid their grubby hands on me. I soon discovered the reason for that was so that I wasn’t soiled goods and I would fetch a better price. A high ranked virgin gets big money.

For the first 6 months, I fought tooth and nail to stop him from laying his disgusting hands on me. It was a losing battle, I was no match against an adult Alpha who can shift. Eventually, I gave up, sick over the beating, silver cuffs, and brutal rapes because I fought him. So, I lost the will to fight and live.

It was just unfortunate he took away any chance I had of taking my own life from the room he kept me in, or I would have used it and freed myself from this hell hole. It was daily that he came to relive himself if not 2 or 3 times a day. No amount of scrubbing could remove his disgusting smell and touch, and when night came, so did the nightmares.

On my 18th birthday, I managed to find a small slither of hope again in the form of my wolf Nala. She gave me a reason to fight once more. After his initial shock at my partial change to fight him off, he was ready with the silver cuffs to stop me from transforming fully, then the wolfsbane injection silenced Nala and I was left with nothing but quiet and the lack of will once more.

Daily wolfsbane injections were enough to keep Nala away and the fight out of me so he could keep doing what he pleased with me. I tried to stop eating to put an end to the pain, only for him to force feed me. There was no way he would let me go after investing so much money in me.

After being here for almost 2 years, I felt like a ghost, no longer present in the world. Then she came, Sienna, beautiful Sienna with her black as night hair and emerald green eyes. Like me, she fought and fought, but he still had his way, and it broke me to see it happening to another.

She told me about her life growing up. The poor girl never had a family to love her like I did. It hurt to talk about them and think about them, but it would hurt more to lose the memories forever. Every night, she held me as we slept, and it helped to keep the nightmares away.

We were all each other had, and we grew close, trying to live and keep going for each other. Alpha Thomas noticed our closeness and used that to bring Sienna in line as he took me more cruelly and brutally than ever before until she lost her fight and gave in to him to save me from more pain.

6 months, we were together in that place before Rayne and her team of elite warriors freed us. She took our statements and got all the information they would need so we wouldn't have to talk to the council. All I wanted to do was to get back to the safety of my family.

I was worried about Sienna and what she would do and where she would go. It is not like she can go back to that poor excuse of a family. I was happy for her when Rayne agreed to let her go with her to live and train to be an elite warrior. I had hope that she would manage to come out of this stronger because of it.

My family were happy and emotional to see me when I arrived home, Ella and her family were so grateful that I had helped her to escape so she didn’t have to face the same horrors that I did.

I could see the guilt in their eyes that I suffered, and she was spared because of me. They struggled to even look directly in my face. That included my older brother, who turned out to be her mate, I could see how hard it was for him to imagine the thought of that happening to his mate and if he could cope with it. He was struggling enough with it being his little sister.

Our Alpha Gregor, my brothers best friend, had taken over from his father while I was away. Still full of wolfsbane, it took me a few days before Nala was strong enough to scent him as our mate. I felt betrayed that he hadn’t said a thing to me, all the while parading the Gamma’s daughter around as his mate.

I suppose after what I have been through, I wasn’t in the best position to accept a mate anyway, so I didn’t even bother to fight or argue when he gave his rejection. I just hid away in my room. My parents tried to explain that he had already promised to make her his mate, and all of the pack were expecting her to become the Luna.

As it turns out, he had apparently gotten her pregnant, but they lost the baby due to a miscarriage. He promised to still stay with her after it happened. I guess she will be better in the role, I am far too messed up to be a proper mate to him, and Luna to the pack, I can barely even look in peoples eyes and I can not stand to be around the opposite s*x right now.

So I guess this is what I have to look forward to, awkward guilty looks as people are nervous around me because they have no idea how to act around me any longer, as they feel pity towards me. I suppose after over two years, everyone and everything is going to have changed, including me.

The life I knew and longed to have again is no longer there and is just a passing memory, something that can never be, so there is no point in hoping for something that is not real. That will only cause more pain, and I have had more than enough of that. For now, the numbness is better.

So that is how my days pass, sitting in my room feeling numb, while staring out of the window, my brother and best friend avoid me, they can not stand to see me and know that this could have been their lives and she feels guilty for running while I fought so she could get away.

My parents try and coax me out of my room to spend time with the family or eat with them, but what is the point. On the few occasions that I have given in, the atmosphere has been so uncomfortable and awkward because they don’t know how to be around me that it ruins it for everyone.

No, it is best to keep to myself. That way, they can just get on with their happy little lives and not worry about damaged little old me getting in the way of their happiness. My brother has not even asked me or brought my nephew to me to meet him for the first time as if I will somehow taint him with my brokenness.

To think we were always so close, and he was always so overprotective of me. He would have done anything for me. He vowed to always be there for me and protect me from everything, and now he can not bare to be near me.

The final straw in my miserable life is the arrival of my second chance mate, who is none other than Sienna’s a.sshole brother. He only caught a glimpse of me as I rushed out of the room, then stopped to listen to the conversation. I guess they don’t care who he is as long as they can get me off of their hand after a year and a half of this.

“You know fine well, dad, that this is not working. She just sits in her room and doesn’t make the effort with anyone. It has been a year and a half since she has been home, and she isn’t even trying to get better

All she does it make people feel bad” Henry says, annoyed.

“Thats not fair son, if it wasn’t for her, you would not have your mate or son right now” dad says calmly.

“And how long are we supposed to feel guilty for that” he says angrily as I walk into the room.

“I have never asked for thanks or guilt for helping Ella get away not once. I was happy to help my friend. I am sorry if I am not over being brutally raped every day for almost 2 and a half years while being beaten and hurt with silver so badly I am scarred all over my body, and being pumped full of wolfsbane daily so I can no longer feel my wolf. I stay in my room to avoid the looks and to stop you all from feeling uncomfortable as that is all you feel around me, so for all of your comfort, I stay alone. You don’t even want me to meet my nephew. You always said you would love and protect me forever. I guess forever passed when someone broke me. So fine, send me off with the stranger who helped let his sister be abused and whose dad was responsible for what happened to me, and then at least none of you have to look at me again. From today you don’t have to worry about me or bother to get in touch with me you have made your feelings clear” I say and turn to go to my room and pack.

“Hattie wait sh.it I” I hear Henry shout.

“Don’t you have done enough” I hear dad growl.

I go and pack within 30 minutes and walk straight outside, not looking at anyone. Some man takes the bags from me, making me flinch. He quickly apologises. My family tried to talk to me, but I have nothing more to say. Our relationship is broken now, and I don’t see it getting fixed. They couldn’t be there for me when I needed them the most. If you love someone, you are there at their best and worst times.

They took the side of my ex mate and made me feel bad for being uncomfortable around him and his chosen mate. I guess when it comes to the Alpha or your daughter, the Alpha wins.

Henry looks like sh.it as he looks to the ground, and Ella can not stop crying along with my mum. The Alpha family all look guilty as hell as I sit in the car. No point in feeling guilty now they would just as well be happy that they can start to enjoy their lives again now that I will be gone again.

Simon gets into the car, and I make sure that I am as close to the door and as far away from him as possible. We have not said one word to each other, he can tell by what I said to my family and the way I am acting that I don’t want to talk to him or be near him as he sighs and tells the driver to head home.
